things to fix

Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.

Findings

What to fix first

  1. The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +10 points

    Live fetches as GPTBot (cloudflare_challenge), ClaudeBot (cloudflare_challenge), PerplexityBot (cloudflare_challenge) were refused while a normal browser got the page. This is usually a hosting or firewall bot list the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. How to fix it

  2. Ordering through an unrecognised third party +9 points

    Check that the provider keeps you as the merchant of record. How to fix it

  3. No menu or price list found +7 points

    Agents answer 'what do they offer' from marketplaces instead. Add a menu or price list page and link it from the homepage. How to fix it

  4. Structured data is incomplete +3 points

    Missing: opening hours. How to fix it

  5. No llms.txt no points, still worth doing

    Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. How to fix it
